Susanna BELDING

Notes:

[Slosson 11-20-00 Greene.FTW]

No actual marriage records seem to exist, although there is no questions that
her given name was Susanna, there has never previiously been an effort to
establish her maiden name as Belding. With direct proof lacking, this
conclusion has beeen reached by certain other corroborating data, which is
explained more fully under the note for her son, Nathaniel. It would appear from
the evidence available that she came to Bedford as a married woman, and that she
was a widow at the time of her marriage to Eleazer Slason. No record has been
found covering any previous marriage, and the compiler, although morally
convinced the statement is correct, does not submit it as a fact. William and
Thomasine Belding were among the early and prominent settlers of Deerfield, MA,
although the town was not settled until after Susanna Belding was born. There
is also no doubt that the Belding family of Deerfield and the Belden family of
Norwalk were one and the same family. The Deerfield records usually used the
Belding spelling, and these records make frequent references to the individuals
of the family who moved to Norwalk. The Norwalk records rarely spell the name
other than Belden, although the Belding spelling is known. Whenever the name
enters the records of Stamford there seems to be an unsettled quality to the
matter, and both spellings are used on occaision, apparently indiscriminately.
The Deerfield records show Susanna's birth date and connection to the family,
and trace the relationships mentioned in the note for son, Nathaniel.

Susanna married Eleazer SLAWSON in 1680 in Bedford, Westchester, New York. Eleazer (son of George SLAWSON and Mrs. George SLAWSON) was born on 09 Feb 1643 in Stamford, Fairfield, Connecticut, USA; died in May 1698 in Stamford, Fairfield, Connecticut, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events and Attributes:

• Also Known As: James Slawson
• Fact: Slawson; Also known as James Slason/Slosson
• Death: 21 Oct 1758, Stamford, Fairfield, Connecticut, USA

Notes:

James married (1) Mehetable Ambler, daughter of Abraham and Mary (Bates) Ambler; (2) Sarah Jagger (Webster), daughter of Jeremy Jagger, and widow of John Webster. No children by this second marriage.

James was an important man in Stamford, a leader in Darien Parish and a large land owner.

Name:
James Slawson was an important man in Stamford, a leader in Darien Parish and a large land owner.

Administration on the estate of James Slawson, Sr., was granted to Deliverance Slawson, 16 May 1759. Inventory taken 22 may, 1759, was filed 7 Aug., 1759, by Deliverance Slawson. distribution was ordered 18 mar. 1760, to his children, viz., to heirs of Susanna, deceased, to Sarah, Elizabeth, Eliphalet, James (it appears from the probates that James was already dead), Deliverance and Thomas, ----"the widow now being deceased."

The will of Sarah, widow of James Slawson, late of Stamford, dated 1 May, 1759, probated 12 Feb., 1760, leaves estate to her son John Webster, his wife and their children Nicholas, Samuel, Mercy, and Sarah.

The probates on this family are confusing. It is indicated that previous to the death of James, Sr., there were four generations of James Slawsons living. The death of three of these James Slawsons within less than two years and before the settling of the estates and confusion due to the the interchange of "Sr.," "Jr.," "Lieut.," and "3d" to say nothing of plain "James Slawson" leaves certain records in doubt. Fortunately James Slawson, Sr., made several deeds of gift to various children.

James married Mehitable AMBLER on 03 Dec 1702 in Stamford, Fairfield, Connecticut, USA. Mehitable (daughter of Abraham AMBLER and Mary BATES) was born about 1675 in Stamford, Fairfield County, Connecticut; died on 08 Feb 1737 in Stamford, Fairfield County, Connecticut. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events and Attributes:

• Also Known As: Nathaniel Slauson
• Occupation: Between 1776 and 1780; Tax Collector, Kent, Conn.

Notes:

Born probably at Bedford, Westchester County, NY. Moved to Stamford Connecticut with his parents about 1697. First to use name SLOSSON, although he was referred to a SLASON, SLAWSON and SLASSON. He was left a full orphan in 1706 and removed to Deerfield, Franklin County, Mass. Raised by his mother's relative. After his marriage to Margaret Belding they resided at Norwalk until 1739, when they became part of the original group of settlers at Kent, Litchfield County, Connecticut. Interred in the family cemetery at Kent. He bought nine acres of land at Captain's Plain, in Norwalk, Conn., Feb. 24, 1720-1721; and five acres at Kent, in Norwalk, March 1, 1720-1721; and in each deed was described as of "Deerfield, Mass." He probable began his residence in Norwalk directly after buying the land; for he was called "of Norwalk," Nov. 16, 1721, when Samuel Belden gave him a deed of all of said Belden's right in the undivided lands in Norwalk, "in consideration of the love and good will which I have and do bear toward my loving cousin, Nathaniel Slawson of said Norwalk." He was chosen constable of Kent, Dec. 4, 1739; the town meeting was held at his house Sept. 1, 1740; and in 1744, he was a lister, and his own estate was valued at L55 10S. They joined the church in Kent, July 12, 1711.[Slosson 11-20-00 Greene.FTW]

Moved to Stamford, CT with his parents about 1697. He was left a full orphan in 1706, and removed to Deerfield Franklyn Co., MA, where he was raised by his Mother's relatives. About 1717 or 1718 he returned to Connecticut, and resided in Norwalk, Fairfield County. Married 11 December 1719 at Deerfield to Margret Belding. They resided at Norwalk, mostly in the portion known as Wilton until 1739, when they became part of a group of original settlers at Kent, Litchfield County, Connecticut. He died 8 Mar 1787. They are interred in the family cemetery at Kent, CT.
Nathaniel, after being orphaned, was brought up by Daniel Belding (1648-1731), who was undoubtedly related to his Mother. This is further substantiated by the fact that Daniel Belding had a sister, Susanna, and was therefore in all probability Nathaniel's uncle. Daniel Belding's son was William Belding, who married Margaret Arms, and their eldest child was Margaret Belding, who married Nathaniel. Nathaniel and his wife were, therefore, first cousins, once removed.
With Nathaniel, the SLOSSON spelling of the name is first used, with the
exception of his eldest children (daughters), all the dedcendents of Nathaniel
have used this spelling. His father's (Eleazer's) will mentioning him by name,
was proved under the name SLASON. His marriage record, on file in Deerfield,
gives his name as SLASSON. When he returned from Deerfield to Norwalk with his bride he purchased land on 1 Feb 1720/1 and made a further purchase on 1 Mar 1729/1. In both these deeds he was "NATHANIEL SLASON". On 16 Nov 1721, Samuel Belden (Belding) (for differences of spelling of this name see notes for Eleazer Slason) presented him with a deed for rights in land "in consideration of the love and good will I have and do bear toward my cousin, Nathaniel Slawson, of said Norwalk". This is particularly interesting for two reasons: first; the reference to his "cousin". Previous genealogist, failing to have the connection between Nathaniel's mother and the Belding family, interpred this to mean "cousin" as a result of his marriage to Margaret Belding. Actually, Samuel meant what he stated when he said "cousin", and it is somewhat far reasoning for him to be guilty of publicly stating his "love" for a cousin-in-law. Nor did the donor say "Nathaniel Slawson, husband of my cousin, Margaret Slawson", which would be the usual phraseology in those days of meticulous accuracy as attested by the many documents so worded that are on file for other families, as well as other branches of this family. On close scrutiny, there seems to be no question that Samuel Belden (Belding) was acknowledging the blood relation existing between himself and Nathaniel Slawson.
He bought 9 acres of land at Captain's Plain in Norwalk in 1720 or 1721, 5 acres in Kent; and on 11 Jun 1722 two parcels of land on E side of the E branch of Pimpsewaug River at Pimpsewaug, Norwalk, and on 14 Aug 1729, 1 1/2 acres from his father-in-law, William Belding adjoining his homestead in the Parish of Wilton which included the districts of Kent and Pimpsewaug, CT.
He and Margaret were members of the church at Wilton at the ordination of Rev. Wm. Gaylord 13 Feb 1732-3.
In the first division of lands at Kent in May, 1738, he drew lot #21 about 3
miles NE of Kent village, in the district called Flanders; and tradition says he
settled thereon about 1 Nov 1739. He was chosen constable of Kent 4 Dec 17339.
They joined the church at Kent 12 Jul 1741.

Excerpt from "Slosson Genealogy from Chazy Town Historian": "The progenitor of the first Slossons in America came from England in 1636, lived in Lynn, Mass. for a time then went to Stamford, Conn. Eleazer Slosson of the 4th generation m. Susannah Lucy Benedict; they lived in several places and finally settled in grand Isle, Chittenden County, Vermont, where he died. They had seven children, the three youngest of whom lived in Chazy, New York.
There was a time when the State Road, from Lucius Heaton's to Doty's and the Slosson Road from the east state road to Ichabod Ransoms was all peopled with the Slossons, with the one exception of Deacon Phineas Doane. In the 1830's there was a great exodus of Slossons for the west, tradition saays that thirty-five went in one year and this is fair to believe considering the number of large families in the locality. the descendants of both Thomas and David went west, the descendants of William mostly remained in or around Chazy."

BURIAL: Joined church in Stockbridge, Mass 7 Nov 1762. Moved to Brown's
Settlement on Boston Purchase 17 Feb 1793 (now Newark Valley, Tioga Co., NY).
Wife Sarah was first member of new church 20 Nov 1803. Enoch was under censure
from previous church, so could not join church at above until censure was
repealed in 2 Jul 1820. It was repealed because censurer confessed lying on his
death bed.

Excerpt from "Slosson Genealogy" by D. Williams Patterson:
His ear-mark for cattle, was recorded in Stockbridge, in March 1768, "a half penny in upper side of both ears"; and he was chosen constable in 1769.
The church book of Stockbridge has the following records: "At a meeting of the church, August 17, 1786, on a complaint exhibited against Enoch Slosson, a member of the church, for charging Capt. Whittlesey with partiality, in giving his evidence under oath, and that he had sworn to that which he (Slosson) had never said or thought.:
"Voted, that is appears to the brethren of this church, that Mr. Slosson has broken Christian rule in making the charge against Capt. Whittlesey, which is contained in the complaint."
"At a meeting of the church, 21st Dec., 1788";---
"Voted, that whereas Mr. Slosson refuses to make the satisfaction which the laws of Christ require for the offenses of which he has been quilty; he be solemnly admonished by the pastor and brethren of the church, to repent of these his sins. The admonition was accordingly immediately given him by the pastor and brethren."
In February 1793, they left Stockbridge, for Brown's Settlement, on the Boston Purchase, with a portion of their children, in company with their son Ezbon, and his family. They reached their destination on the fourth day of March, and began their settlement in a bark-covered shanty, on the bank of the creek, near where Sturtevant's gristmill stands, in the village of Newark Valley, Tioga County, New York. This was the first house built on the site of the village; and the wives of Enoch and Ezbon Slosson, were the first women who dwelt within the limits of the town; and they did not see another woman from the time they came into the place till the next September.
On the 17th of November, 1803, more than ten years after they settled in the wilderness, the first church in Tioga (afterward, the first church in Berkshire, and now the first church in Newark Valley), was formed. Mrs. Slosson, having been granted a letter of dismission from the church in Stockbridge, Oct. 2, 1803, was admitted to this new church, on Sunday after its organization, Nov. 20, 1803; she being the first one admitted. Mr. Slosson could not join with her, as he was still under censure of the Stockbridge church, and so remained until Capt. Whittlesey, on his death-bed, acknowledged the wrong which he had done to Slosson; asking pardon of him and of the church; on which the church sent to Slosson a letter of dismission, on which he joined the church in Berkshire, July 2, 1820. His troubles so wore upon him, that, at times, during the last years of his life, he was subject to mental derangement. His first log house (the bark-roofed shanty belonged to his son) stood where Dr. C.R. Heaton now lives. They were buried in the old burial ground in Berkshire, New York.

Notes:

Note from "Slosson Genealogy": Daniel built the "Caswell house," in Kent, and from there moved to Richmond, Mass.

"George Slawson" by Harold D. Slosson: Finally news came to Daniel and Keziah that the General Court of Massachusetts had opened for colonization the western part of that state. The area lay just north of them; it was the opportunity they were looking for. the expression "Western Fever," according to one reference, actually originated in Kent, Connecticut. In any event, Daniel contrated it, and in the next year, 1762, the Slossons were again on the migration trail. The specific place of interest to Daniel and Keziah was about midway in western Massachusetts between Connecticut and Vermont, and close to the New York State line. Actually, it was only some fifty miles north of Kent......
Transportation in Colonial days, however, was a real problem. Perhaps at that early day there may have been some kind of a wagon road in the Housatonic River Valley extending for a ways north of Kent. The Slossons' final destination, however, was off the river course, in a primitive and heavily forested area.
It is believed that the Slossons went northward on horseback, pack-train fashion, perhaps driving some stock before them. Most probably it was a three-day journey, with rivers to ford, hills to climb, and forests to ride through, requiring at least two nights of camping out on the way. At night, after their horses were fed and hobbled to keep them from straying, the Slossons ate supper around a lively campfire. Thereafter, with strts as their lamplight, trees as their cover, and pine needles as their mattress, they rolled into blankets for some sound sleep. Early the following morning they would push farther into the forest.
It might also be mentioned that now going through Kent is a footpath - ossibly following an old Indian course - Called the Appalachian Trail, or in some places the "Long trail." Starting in southern United States, it extends some 2000 miles north, almost to the Canadian border. But even this long trail couldn't finally help Daniel and Keziah, since - as before indicated - they eventually would diverge westerly from the trail's north-easterly course......
Daniel's next younger brother, John, and his wife, Hannah, decided to go to this new land also, taking with them their two-year-old daughter, Aldine. Daniel, now the leader, and his wife, Keziah, had with them daughter Eunice, perhaps six years old; their son Jehiel, about three; and Anna, a babe in arms of less than one year.
Finally, the Slossons reached a clearing, the start of a settlement then called Mt. Ephraim, now the present town of Richmond. No grand group of greeters awaited them to point out their allotted land, since at tht time there were screly more than a dozen white men in this immediate area. Captain Micah Mudge and his family came in 1760, and a few more families arrived in 1761. And now the Slossons were the first to arrive in 1762. Not until 1765, after more settlers were there, was the town actually established. Thus the Slossons were among the very first settlers in this section of the Berkshire Hills which had been purchases from the Indians.
In those pioneer days, much political organizing had to be done with the Slossons doing their share. For example, John Slosson is listed on the committee to oversee the construction of the town meetinghouse, a stout, well-built building.

Notes:

"George Slawson - An American Pioneer": Jehiel, the restless Minuteman, after the Revolutionary War, with his wife, Rebecca, left the Berkshire Hills of western Massachusetts, and crossed the Hudson River into New York State. There in the hills of Greenville, near the Catskills, they farmed and raised their family.
Their new home, Coxsackie, the Slossons found had some patriotic fame, for here the Dutch farmers had made a freedom declaration even before the signing of the American Declaration of Independence.
While living in Coxsackie for some half-dozen years, the couple had two children, Jehiel, Jr., and a daughter, Becky. They are listed in first U.S. Decennial Census, 1790, page 23. But life in that river town did not satisfy Jehiel's restless spirit. It was commercial, and now he remembered the quiet, wooded Berkshire Hills. Again the Slossons wre on the move - westward and northward to the small town of Greenville in New York hills.
Again, the Slossons were early settlers. They had arrived about 1791, and it was not until about 1803 when the setlement once called Freehold was given its present name of Greenville.
Jehiel was a farmer, and probably a craftsman as well. Remote Greenille had varied home industries, it is recorded. Further, two small pieces of handmade Colonial furniture still in the family are believed to have been made by Jehiel in his Greenville home.
Tragedy came, however, when Jehiel at the age of forty-nine passed on. Rebecca met that challenge by leading her seven children in a wagon train westward, down the mountains, through the Susquehanna River Valley to a new life in south-central New York State....
Jehiel was the second child of Daniel and Keziah Slosson. Jehiel's name - probably best pronounces as a "he" in the center - was derived from the Old Testament. Jehiel appears in Chronicles as the son of Good King Jehoshaphat.
Finally, on January 22, 1807, the ather, Jehiel, when he was only forty-nine years old, answered the final call. His restless spirit had made that final trip. And two weeks later, his fifteen-year-old girl, Sally, also passed away. The cause of their demise is not known. Jehiel might have had a war disability, or again, a wintertime epidemic may have swept through that area, where the closed doctor may have been miles away.
Rebecca was now a widow with seven dependent children. Doubtless Jehiel left her with a reasonably good farm and their homestead. ...
News of her plight slowly went to relatives in various places. Meanwhile, she pondered what would be best for her children. Finally word was received from Jehiel's uncle, Enoch Slosson, suggesting that her family come to live near him in the south-central part of New York State. Summarized from century-old notes written by William patterson, who had married into the family, here is why Enoch turned out to be the benefactor of Rebecca's family.
Years before, bread had been cast on the waters in the Slosson family. Third-generation Nathaniel had been given a land gift by his father-in-law. Nathaniel, in turn, had given some land to his son, fourth-generation Enoch. And now Enoch was volunteering to help the family of his nephew, fifth-generation Jehiel.
However, it was an unusual cause-and-effect story whereby Enoch happened to be living in New York state in a position to offer Rebecca assistance. years before he had followed his brother Daniel into the Berkshire Hills. There, in Stockbridge, as a respected citizen, he had been elected constable, the position his father had similarly held in Kent.
In connection with his official duties, Enoch accused a captain of partiality in giving evidence under oath. The church took the captain's side; Enoch stood by his convictions, and so had been admonished by the church.
Perhaps because of this treatment, in 1793 Enoch moved with some of his family into the wilderness area at Brown's Settlement on the Boston Settlement on the Boston purchase in Newark Valley in Tioga County south-central new York State. There he pioneered and apparently prospered with the growth of the area. Subsequently, the Stockbridge captain, on his deathbed, confessed the wrong he had done to Slosson, who was then pardoned by the church. Thus Enoch was well able to help Rebecca. Completing his life story, although distressed by his church troubles, he lived to the age of ninety-four.
After receiving the Enoch Slosson offer to join his family, Rebecca reflected that it might be easier simpl to remain in Greenville. but that hll area was rather isolated with limited opportunies for her children. Again, she could backtrack to the Berkshire Hills or to Connecticut where many friends and relatives were living.
But Enoch's location was in a new land with plenty of space for her family to grow and develop. Further, and this was important, it was in the direction her restless Jehiel had been headed.
And so Rebecca decided - she would continue that long journey to the west.....
Rebecca Slosson had a full, adventurous life. Finally, at Union (now Newark Valley) on May 29, 1827, at the age of sixty-eight, she passed on to be with the Lord. The burial place is given as near Naticoke Springs, Broome County, New York
